To properly construct a split infinitive, one has to immediately insert an adverb between the suffix and the verb to consequently build.

The use of the split infinitive is a controversial grammatical form used to greatly add emphasis on a speech or piece of literature. It is highly debated because to frequently use the split infinitive may lead the audience to widely believe the author to greatly be ineloquent.

To correctly react when encountering such form of language, one should be careful not to overly overreact. It is widely believed by most experts[citation needed] that to vehemently cry out is fairly pointless. Instead, the correct behavior is to silently ignore the offending lecturer or author. This usually leads the author to quickly correct his faulty language.

This is most commonly known form of a split infinitive. If the Star Trek guys didn't come up with this, no one would have been aware of split infinitives and, consequently, I wouldn't have had the idea to stupidly write this, and the world would have probably been a better place to happily live.
